Chapter 156: The Lost Naval Fortress (5)
Even though they are already equipped with excellent weapons, pirates in this era are still more accustomed to fighting broadside battles. The pirate ballistae on the top of the mast are carrying their weapons and are laughing madly and pouring fire on the enemy.
A large number of pirates, with the help of ropes, jumped on the sails of naval warships. Then follow the mast and slide down the deck. In contrast to the pirates' loud laughter, the navy soldiers' side is full of fear of war.
Even some naval soldiers looked at the pirates who jumped over the rope with a blank expression. Compared to the navy, it was hastily organized by the generals. The menacing pirates have to suppress the scattered navy in terms of morale, weapons, and strength.
The battle of the broadside battle takes less time than the pirate captains imagined. It's not that the combat effectiveness of the Navy is too poor. In fact, the strength of the Navy is not weak, and there are quite a few in number.
However, the mentality of the Navy soldiers went wrong at the very beginning. After a few disadvantages, there was a big problem with the fighting spirit. In the end, he was finally defeated in the frontal battle of the pirates.
On the several naval warships that broke out in the broadside battle, the navies were simply unable to organize an effective counterattack. In the end, it was constantly divided and gradually exterminated.
Of course, it's not that you haven't been stimulated and dare to resist. However, after all, these people are too few to drive the entire battle situation. The navy, which soon collapsed, even jumped into the sea in a panic.
It's a pity that these poor creatures, even if they escaped this fate. How long can you survive if you fall into the helpless sea? Perhaps, you can once again go with the flow to the next land. However, this is only self-defeating, because it is more likely that you have fed the predators of the sea.
"General Halman, we seem to be surrounded by the enemy! What to do, please instruct. "A flag bearer of a warship. He asked with a worried face.
"Damn!!What about our left flank! How did they guard ・・・・・・ let the pirate fleet break through to the vicinity of the command ship. Rear Admiral Holman looked incredulous, how could this be possible! Could it be that the Grand Pirate Fleet was transparent? Then how could the men in charge of the left flank not be blocked.
In the face of Rear Admiral Halman's series of questions, the first mate of the navy, who was responsible for contacting the surrounding friendly forces, said with a smile on his face: "Rear Admiral Holmman! Colonel Harvey, who is in charge of the defense of the left flank, has lost contact!!"
Halman had a pimple in his heart, and he was transparent in his heart, and he couldn't hear the meaning of the Navy's first mate's words. "It's terrible now・・・・・・ we have no way back"
Thinking of this, Major General Holman secretly made a decision. "I must break through and ・・・・・・ speed up the voyage with all my might!! Artillery fire, give me a temporary suppression of the opponent・・・・・・"
"General, this, how can this work!!・・・・・・ if the other party's hull can't dodge, won't we collide with them!!・・・・・・"
Halman, however, did not give the adjutant another chance to persuade himself. Shengsheng interrupted the other party's unfinished words. "Id, you've been following me for a while, and there's a lifeboat behind the warship, so you can leave by boat from there!"
"General Holman・・・・・・ yes! Your order, I will convey to the people below ・・・・・・" to this step, where does the first mate of the Navy still not understand. His immediate boss is already determined to die.
"As for my subordinates, I ・・・・・・ general, please forgive me for not being able to obey orders this time. Let me stay and accompany the general!!"
"Ed. ・・・・・・ you !!" Holman opened his mouth several times, but looked at his lieutenant with a determined look. In the end, it turned into a sigh. No more spoken.
The atmosphere began to become silent until not far away, one pirate ship after another began to appear. It broke this wordless pathos and made Halman rekindle his fighting spirit.
"Is that the main ship of the ・・・・・・ Pirate Fleet!" saw the "Gillie" that Captain Edgar was on, and the command flag flying on it. Howman knew that this was the enemy's command ship.
"Order!・・・・・・ sink that pirate ship for me at all costs!" Holman pointed to the "Gillie". The captain's order was decisively given.
"Yes! ”
"Reload! ”
With the order of the Supreme Captain, the navy finally found the backbone. It began to work in an orderly manner. One by one, the shells were successfully loaded and fired.
For a time, it was more pressed with less. The formation of the pirate fleet was a little chaotic. Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived. As the enemy adjusts, the difference in numbers begins to be revealed.
In the chaotic artillery battle, most of the ballistics were circumvented. The missed shells, hitting the sea, stirred up huge waves. But with a huge base, there were still some shells that hit the naval warships. Suddenly, the deck was littered with debris and the ship's mast collapsed. From time to time, there was a fire on the deck.
Listening to the terrible howls around him, and the chaotic array of sailors, Halman finally sighed. Truth be told, if given the choice, he wouldn't have done it. "Don't worry about those shells, give me a quick charge!" The target is the enemy's main ship 'Gillie', sink it for me. ”
With, the order of Major General Halman. The navy's capital ship, which already showed signs of fire, began to speed up frantically.
"Uh! What does that Navy warship want to do!" "Damn!?evade it!・・・・・・" "Where's the artillery!!!Sink it・・・・・・"
Looking at the unbridled naval warship, the pirate fleet was really in chaos. No one wants to collide with a sea ship moving at full speed.
"Hmph! Sure enough, pirates, pirates! are still so timid and afraid of death・・・・・・ "It turned out that Halman was ready to die. However, there is also a fluke purpose. Unexpectedly, the pirate ship was forced to open by himself. This made Halman look proud, this may be the legendary place of death and resurrection!
It's a pity that he didn't wait too long for him to be happy! The pirate fleet, which was originally separated, slaughtered several strange-looking pirate ships from behind. Ring-shaped bow with a heavy deck.
"Hahaha!!We like 'Bump and Collision' the most!Let's see if it's our special ironclads that are powerful, or if it's your antique and hard!!"
"Quack!!!Crush them!"
Things are so ridiculous! A moment ago, the navy was still violent, wanting to smash the pirate ship and die together. At this time, it turned around and turned into a pirate driving an ironclad giant ship and rampage.
